If your rod ends are teflon lined, that wd40 is the worse thing for you. THey are self lubricating. Just take them off and clean them with compressed air. Putting wd40 on it will over lubricate the ball and prematurely wear it out. Any dirt or grime you have on it should be removed without using any type of wd40 compound. The ONLY thing I would recommend is teflon based lubricants as it doesn't attack the seal.
